Anyone know if Parasite Clear by Jungle will hurt my Japanese Trapdoor snails?

The guy at the fish store said it would kill 'em, so I rushed home and segregated them into the medi-bucket with some pieces of plants and algae wafers.....4 of the 8 are definitely alive. I grouped all them together on one side, to be able to judge, and the other 4 haven't done much, but they are never ones to jump into action.....

It says on the box its harmful to crustaceans! I just looked at teh box. right at the bottom of the english section!!! Sorry! I should have looked at all the directions before I recommended it to you.. If you only had them in there a little while they should go back to normal. Any prolonged exposure (lessay a week or two) and yea something might go wrong.. :S IM SORRY! please don't be angry..

no, I'm not angry I bought the product and then came home and saw your recommendation, so it would be my fault regardless I read the box too, and it didn't occur to me to worry about the snails, as they aren't crustaceans, right? But that's what the aquarium store guy'd said, and I couldn't find anything online so far that says anything bad about it, so I thought I'd put it out here.

(just read ur pm ) well, the good news is all of the snails have moved from their original location, so it looks like they'll be ok! ..........oh yeah, usually when you say "well, the good news is....." there is some bad news, but I don't have any. Other than it's time to go to work.
